Alt radio March Madness WLUM vs. CILV

Another brutal matchup, with one fairly decent alt station leaving the competition. The number seven seeding is WLUM of Milwaukee against Ottawa's best kept secret CILV, which I predict will give WLUM a run for its money. Best of 10 -- I get to judge since it's my blog.


WLUM leads off with Somebody Told Me by the Killers. However, the lame lyrics fall to the lyrical might that is Forced to Love -- Broken Social Scene CILV wins the first round. WLUM is on the left, CILV on the right.

WHAT'S MY AGE AGAIN -- BLINK 182 VS. WHY I AM -- DAVE MATTHEWS BAND Jambalya beats corn dogs anyday. CILV opens up a 2-0 edge
PUMPED UP KICKS -- VS. I HEAR YOU CALLING -- GOB However pop punk beats sodden synth pop every time 3-0 CILV. This could be a rout.
TAKE 'EM DOWN -- DROPKICK MURPHYS VS. LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HAPPEN -- TRAGICALLY HIP I'll call this a draw based upon the fact that I haven't heard either song and I don't have time to check them out.
JEREMY -- PEARL JAM VS. DO YOU WANT TO -- FRANZ FERDINAND Another draw.
THE GHOST INSIDE -- BROKEN BELLS VS. WHEN THE NIGHT FEELS MY SONG -- BEDOUIN SOUNDCLASH Always had a soft spot in my heart for Bedoin Soundclash's first single 4-0 CILV, and the best WLUM can hope for is overtime.
USE SOMEBODY -- KINGS OF LEON VS. WELCOME -- HEY ROSETTA! WLUM plays its trump card -- Kings of Leon -- and finally gets on the board.
SO WHATCHA WANT -- BEASTIE BOYS VS. HIGH AND DRY -- RADIOHEAD. Damn I like both these songs. But I like So Whatcha Want a hair more.
ANIMAL -- NEON TREES VS. DOG DAYS ARE OVER -- NEON TREES. The horses are coming and Live eighty eight five is riding one of them, so run for your mother...

Next is brand spanking new Sacramento station KKDO vs. KXTE of Las Vegas.
